My Pompeii
Painting sc0042
150x180cm approx
Oil on canvas
As a result of Mt Vesuvius errupting , Pompeii was left under a pile of ash, only to be discovered and excavated early in the 20th century. As I walked through the ancient worn cobbled streets of Pompeii, at the foot of Vesuvius on a freezing day in January 1985, pieces of uncovered bodies, artifacts and parts of buildings, lay where they were discovered.

Ice skating is relaxing and exhilerating for me. I started to skate when I was 21 and still go when I can. This is an oil pastel drawing done directly onto a silk screen. The oil crayon is then pushed through the screen with a solvent jell.
